Just another week...

This week, the dreaded "notice of delay" arrived by email. A bit anti-climactic since I've known for a few weeks now but I guess I just need to roll with it.

This morning I was unable to take a picture of the progress due to the number of contruction and contractor vehicles occupying my street, making it virtually impossible to snap a photo. However, I did notice (from the main street) that the third floor has been started and roof trusses are ready to go. Nice work boys!

Since I was not able to post a picture of the house, I have decided to post a picture with my sister in mind. We will be attending the 950 pm showing of New Moon next weekend - a couple of old gals in a room of screaming tweens - it's gonna be sweet!

Moving along nicely

This morning, I swung by the lot to see what (if any) progress would be made on the house. I was happy to see the balcony floor off the dining room had been constructed. I also noticed (not visible) the roof for the second floor was on. As I slowly snailed my way along the road, I also caught a glimpse of the inside and I could see framing for the stairs leading up to the second floor. Yay! I'm still waiting for my letter of delay from Mattamy as well as a letter indicating the change of kitchen suppliers. It's so nice to see things moving along so nicely!

Framing frenzy

I have incorporated my so-called creative skills and using Paint, I am able to outline what exactly you are seeing. The orange outline is obviously the front door. Can't really have a house without one. To the right, in the yellow outline, is the garage door. Now to me it looks much smaller than I expected however I am sitting on the street and didn't really get up close and personal.

Moving onto the second floor, the outline is red is the kitchen window. One of these windows will open (crank) while the second window will not open. And finally the outline in blue is the french door to the dining room. Eventually there will be a balcony attached to this part of the house but one thing at a time.
